Hog Notes. 1

For period comfort shelter
mu?t be given along with liberal
feeding.
Fi^s cannot be pushed foe fast
provided the right kind of food
is used.
Gradually increase the r iti ins
of 1 lie pigs a few days before w wanin
p if they are to be kept gaining.
Not a little o' 'lie disease
among hog? is due to t lie disre j
gard of their needs of a variety j
Of foods.
Barley is chiefly valuable for
i's muscle forming propensities,
yielding very largely of both la<
and flesh.
In many cases it is nof the vi-|
cious *ow but the stupid feeders
that mak?8a c mible of the mother
sow.
As much as the breeding and
growing animals need exercise
lor tluir prosperity, the h jgs for
fattening'netd rest and quie'.
A hog wit.h a short nose and a
thick head, short legs and plenty
of heart and lung room is usually
a quiet and good grower.
While the pig should never
be kept hungry he should be
kept so that he will c >me to the
trcfugh with a good appetite.
When a sow proves to be a
good mother in all respects, keep
her until she will oreed no more
and save from her another breeder.
Pigs often lack vigor because
the btood sow is kept too I at.
A good thritty condition is much
better for the hogs han too much
lat.
A pig that has been stunted
in its early days for the want of
a sufficiency of food, will never
recover Iroin it so as to give the
best results from feeding.
The/secrets of profitable pork
consists in pushing the animal
when young so that it is early
ready to market, and giving f<?od
adapted to the wants and condition

Harvesting and Keeping
Sweet Potatoes.
Prof. \V. F. Massey in Progressive
Farmer.
When your sweet potato
vines are f*r?t nippel by fro-t,
they should be at onee removed
even if n t realv fo (lit*, f >r the
dead vines will be apt to dam -g
the roots if left attache 1. Dig
if possible when the soil is dry
and the weather bright and
warm. Do not throw the potatoes
into heaps and bruise them,
but lay them along ihe rows in
tlie sun all day, gathering up
b fore dew fills. Then do no
throw them into a wagon bocly
to he shovelled out, but pick
them up in basket* or crates
Slatted crates, such as are ujed
for shipping vegetables in, are
good for this purpose, and if a
regular pota'o house is made for
the winter storage they can be
stored to advantage in the crates.
But I will treat in this article
of the storing in heaps or
hills in open ground, as is a common
p/actice in the South, and
when properly done the potatoes

nicelv. But whero the croD is J1
grown on a large scale for mat* 8
ket it will always pay to have "
a regular potato house built.
There are several such house"4
in South Carolina and Georgia v'
that were constructed Irotn my 1
directions, and have beeu a re- i
maik ble success. I met one <>1 i
I tie men 'o whom I had given \
the speefications at t he South Car
oliila State Fanners' Convention i
at Cletnson College. He told nv j
tha then, the middle of August, ;
| he was .'ending last year's pota- i
toes to hogs, perfectly sound, in |
oider to get them out of the way 1
for the coming crop. But where
the potatoes are grown to the
extent of only a hundred or so
hui'te s they can be kept in the
South in hills, or batiks, as some
ca'l them, provided the potatoes
are handled property in the harvesting.
HOW TO MAKE A POTATO BANK
It is always best to liave a
rough sheil over tho place vih re
the bank-* ?>re to be made, for
dry earth keeps out frost better
than wet e?rth. Having then
constructed such a rout-rh shelter.
the ground should be shaped
so that 110 water will run under
the hills of potatoes. Place
a thick layer of dry pine straw
on the ground This straw!
should have been raked in dry
weather and kept under cover;
so as to be perfectly dry at storing
time. Potatoes that have
been grown from cuttings of the
(vines from the spring plants will
! keep better than tbe early ones,
i Place tho potatoes in heaps of
(about twenty-live bushels etch,
j Then cover them thickly with
: pine straw. Let the heaps stand
(in this w ty till the potatoes have
! gone through the sweat I ha*
they always puss through alter
storms an<l are ?1 rv. When the
nitihts betiin tube fros'y and approach
the Ireezinir temperature,
cover the heaps with about six
inches of earth, dry earth that
has been kept under 111? same
shed Pat this down smoothly,
leaving only a small opening at
the top down to the pine straw.
Then, as it begins to freeze considerably
at nisrbt, place-another |
six inches of soil all over tiiej
beans, and if you have dug and
handled tiie potatoes carefully'
?n 1 have not s'ored any diseased 1
or cut potato's, they will usoaMy
keep very well. I have stored j
J p it itoes in th's way and the last I
I hill opened the lir-t ot June was
